If approved, EU move would represent major economic and diplomatic blow for Israel

The proposal would suspend the central plank of a decades-old free trade deal that removed tariffs on imports of goods between Europe and Israel.

However, suspension of the agreement requires the backing of a weighted majority of EU capitals, meaning Germany or Italy would first need to lift their opposition to the 27-state union sanctioning Israel.

    This is very little very late. But hey, it’s the right direction. Now if you keep on moving that way maybe eventually it’ll have an effect (besides Israel publicly playing the victim I mean).
